    Abstract Right heart failure (RHF) can occur as the result of an acute or chronic disease process and is a challenging clinical condition for surgeons and interventionalists to treat. RHF occurs in approximately 0.1% of patients after cardiac surgery, in 2-3% of patients following heart transplantation, and in up to 42% of patients after LVAD implantation. Regardless of the cause, RHF portends high morbidity and mortality and is associated with longer hospital stays and higher healthcare costs. The mainstays of traditional therapy for severe RHF have included pharmacological support, such as inotropes and vasopressors, and surgical right ventricular (RV) assist devices. However, in recent years catheter-based mechanical circulatory support (MCS) strategies have offered novel solutions for addressing RHF without the morbidity of open surgery. This manuscript will review the pathophysiology of RHF, including the molecular underpinnings, gross structural mechanisms, and hemodynamic consequences. The evolution of techniques for supporting the right ventricle will be explored, with a focus on various institutional experiences with percutaneous ventricular assist devices.

    Abstract Objective: To determine factors associated with frequency and outcome of equid emergencies in private practice.
    Design: Retrospective study from February 2019 to January 2020.
    Setting: Private practice large animal hospital.
    Animals: A total of 3071 equids of various breeds and ages presenting for emergency care.
    Interventions: None.
    Measurements and main results: Variables included for analysis of daily emergency frequency included day of the week, month, and daily climate data. A Poisson regression model found the maximum temperature (P = 0.05), average barometric pressure (P = 0.005), and decreases in barometric pressure (P = 0.05) were associated with an increasing daily number of emergencies. Overall survival for all emergencies was 89% (2748/3071). Variables included for analysis of nonsurvival for emergencies included signalment, body system, clinical examination findings, laboratory data, and experience of the veterinarian. A logistic regression model for primary emergencies (nonreferral) found that increasing age, increasing heart rate, and decreased gastrointestinal sounds were associated with an increase in nonsurvival. Body system and experience of the veterinarian affected nonsurvival. A logistic regression model for all emergencies (primary and referral) found that absent gastrointestinal sounds and an increasing PCV were associated with increased nonsurvival.
    Conclusions: The number of daily emergencies in this practice was affected by the month of the year and day of the week. Additionally, hotter days, increased barometric pressure, or drops in barometric pressure are likely to be associated with a higher emergency caseload. Nonsurvival of primary equid emergencies in private practice increases with age, higher heart rates, and decreased gastrointestinal sounds.

    Abstract During a 6 week period beginning early March 2020, 30 patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were supported with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This volume increase mandated rapidly training 116 nurses with no prior ECMO experience via a 2 hour crash course. A qualitative study using semistructured, in-depth interviews was conducted to evaluate the experiences of this unique nursing cohort. Fourteen registered nurses meeting inclusion criteria of no prior ECMO experience, attendance of ECMO educational crash course, direct assignment of COVID-19 patients requiring ECMO, and willingness to consent to recorded interviews participated in the study. Two semistructured interviews were conducted, audio recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis of the interviews was completed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Six themes identified were anxiety and fear of patient harm, isolation and depersonalization, value of didactic education with reinforced clinical experience, professional growth, importance of team collaboration, and pride and gratitude. Subthemes were additionally extracted. Nurses faced multiple obstacles during the pandemic. ECMO added a layer of complexity, as these patients required labor-intensive, high acuity nursing care. The impact of the pandemic and its unique challenges on nursing and medical staff warrants further investigation.
